It's silent, the screen i opened, there is an image, a beatifully visualised field with a running stream, I begin to wonder, could it be?? My thoughts are given form, a figure rides out, and yes it's true! It's Link, he draws his sword, we see him fight on horse back, defending himself agains bokoblins on strange boar, we see him fight on foot slashing, stabbing and obliterating anyone ins his path. I hear brilliantly orchistrated music, and them there are the captions.

Blades will bleed.......

Shields will shatter.......

But as the light fades......

Will the hero rise agian?

Well the Hero has already risen again, he's back. He's adult. He's Link and this may be the game to beat ( dare I say it ) The Ocarina of Time!!!!

The graphics blew me away. It reminded me about just how much pure power the lil' cube actually has by means of power. I mean the amount of pollies that must of been sustained! The music is orchistarted and that is a first for zelda, whick is good and it seems that the powerful score will definataly be a good contribution to the new zelda. There seems to be the famus day'night system first introduced in the Ocarina of time and that is certainly a welcome fature. One of my favorite addtions is the abilty to fight with a sword on horseback. Of course whether Link rides on Epona or another horse is totally unkown, I can only guess. The world in which you play in ( probably Hyrule ) seems to be big enough, which again, just shows how much praphical mucsle th Gamecube has. I want Nintendomto take it's time on this, good things come to those who wait and the longer Nintendo spends on this game the better, because when it does come out, I am pretty sure that this new Zelda is going to kick alot of the old heiny.
